Acer palmatum 'Frosted purple'

Frosted Purple Japanese Maple Unique and sophisticated, 'Frosted Purple' showcases deep purple leaves overlaid with a silvery-white "frosting," especially prominent on new growth. This creates a beautiful two-toned effect that shimmers in the breeze. The underlying purple holds well in summer, and fall brings shades of red. It tends to have an upright, bushy habit.
